Abstract

A method for recovering transmission errors, comprising: receiving a data packet comprising an error detection code associated to data contained in the packet, wherein the data associated to the error detection code comprises primary data and secondary data, checking the error detection code of the received packet to detect an erroneous state of the associated data, when the erroneous state is detected, determining a finite set of candidate values for the primary data and, for each values of the set: determining a marginal likelihood of the candidate value as a function of the error detection code of the received packet, determining a first correlation between the primary data of the received packet and the candidate value, and selecting a corrected value for the primary data among the set of candidate values as a function of said marginal likelihoods and said first correlations.

Claims (18)

1. A method of decoding a video signal with a decoding apparatus, comprising:

obtaining, with the decoding apparatus, Illumination Compensation difference information of a neighbor block of a current block, when the video signal does not include an Illumination Compensation flag for the current block;

deriving, with the decoding apparatus, an Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block using the Illumination Compensation difference information of the neighbor block;

deriving, with the decoding apparatus, the Illumination Compensation flag based on the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block, the Illumination Compensation flag indicating whether illumination compensation is performed on the current block; and

performing, with the decoding apparatus, the illumination compensation on the current block, based on the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block and the Illumination Compensation flag,

wherein when the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block is 0, the Illumination Compensation flag of the current block is derived as 0, and

when the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block is not 0, the Illumination Compensation flag of the current block is derived as 1.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block is derived based on whether a reference index of the current block is identical to that of the neighbor block.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein when there exists one neighbor block having the reference index identical to that of the current block, the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block is set to the Illumination Compensation difference information of the neighbor block.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the neighbor block is checked in order of upper, left, upper-right and upper-left blocks of the current block.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein when there exists three neighbor blocks, each having the reference index identical to that of the current block, the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block is set to a median value of Illumination Compensation difference information of the three neighbor blocks.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the video signal is received as a broadcast signal.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the video signal is received via digital medium.

8. An apparatus for decoding a video signal, comprising:

a decoding apparatus configured to derive an Illumination Compensation difference predictor of a current block using obtained Illumination Compensation difference information of a neighbor block, when information associated with illumination compensation for the current block is not available in a bitstream,

the decoding apparatus configured to derive an Illumination Compensation flag based on the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block, and configured to perform the illumination compensation on the current block based on the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block and the Illumination Compensation flag,

wherein when the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block is 0, the Illumination Compensation flag of the current block is derived as 0, and

when the Illumination Compensation difference predictor of the current block is not 0, the Illumination Compensation flag of the current block is derived as 1.
